I just thought of something else.
Who would want a 23 inch bass drum?[/QUOTE
Its actually the perfect size. Feel close to a 22, sound close to 24.

It was a joke!
I understand the reason for Neil playing that size drum.
This whole thread is a joke.
Neil playing at the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert was a cruel joke.
Someone paying over $10,000 for that kit is a joke!

We should all boycot Dale's for having the nerve to put that kit up on eBay for that price.
It is an insult to the memory of Buddy and to all of the great drummers who played at that show.

That drum kit should be auctioned off for charity with the price starting at what it cost to make at DW. As Bob said it's an embarassment and only lends itself to someones greed, the seller, and someones stupidity, the buyer. The performance was poor.

I don't have $10K to spend on a drum set of any kind, but I don't think it's a crazy price when you consider the intangibles. I admired this kit the first time I saw it because I think it looks nice and the modern take on a classic look appeals to me.
